Chapter 241
Genevieve went back to the Lawrence residence.
Darrell was fishing by the pond at the back of his mansion and came back with a full bucket.
He had reared those fish.
Samantha was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Genevieve come back, she waved her hand happily. “You came back just in time. I’m going to the hospital to visit Selene’s mother. Will you come with me?”
Genevieve frowned and approached her. “Mrs. Quinn is still in a coma and can’t eat this delicious food.”
Samantha rolled her eyes and said, “This is for Selene. She’s been working hard these days, so she needs to eat some good food. She’s a filial daughter and takes such a good care of her mother.”
Genevieve pouted and said, “Mom, if you were ever in a vegetative state, I’ll also take good care of you every day.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Samantha glared at her daughter, completely abandoning any concern for her own composure and thought, ‘She’ll be the end of me one day.”
As soon as Darrell came in, he heard Samantha cursing. He couldn’t help being nosy and asked, “What happened? What’s going on?”
Feeling guilty, Genevieve dared not speak.
Samantha grumbled, “She said she would wait on me if I’m in a vegetative state!”
Darrell’s face darkened, and he reached out to pinch Genevieve’s ear. “How dare you curse my wife, huh?”
Genevieve begged for mercy. “I was wrong…”
”
Samantha snorted proudly and asked Darrell to stop.
Darrell then let go of his hand.
Genevieve rubbed her ear and immediately changed the subject. “Did you make this soup for Selene? It smells

saw to the whole process. Of course, it smells good.”
Genevieve pretended not to hear it. She wanted a serving and looked at Samantha eagerly.
Samantha looked at her helplessly and asked someone to serve her a small bowl. “You go with me later.”
Genevieve nodded. As expected, the soup was delicious.
On the way, Genevieve told Samantha that she was going to participate in the divorce show.
Not only did Samantha not object, but she even agreed to Genevieve’s idea.
Genevieve was flabbergasted. “You support me?”
“Of course, you’re as perfect, like me. Appear on air more and find your boyfriend sooner. Your father was fascinated by my acting back then.” Samantha smiled gracefully.
Genevieve smiled too.
They arrived at the hospital.
Selene had just wiped Lorelai’s body with a care worker’s help. When Samantha and Genevieve arrived, she hurriedly greeted them. “Mrs. Lawrence, what brings you here?”
Samantha looked at her with a smile and touched her hair gently.
“I’m here to see you. Selene, you’ve lost weight. Stay with Gen. I’ll make you good food,” Samantha said.
Selene grew up with Genevieve. Given her lively personality, she managed to gain many elders‘ favors.
“Thanks, Mrs. Lawrence,” Selene said sweetly.
Samantha smiled and asked Genevieve to fetch the soup. “Remember to eat well. If you have any difficulties,
just tell Genevieve. I’ll take care of it if she can’t.”
Selene held back her tears and hugged Samantha.

“Thank you, Mrs. Lawrence. Don’t worry. I’m all grown up now.”
Then, Selene’s phone rang, and she went to answer it. Her face darkened after hearing a few words. “Mrs. Lawrence, please wait for a moment. A friend of mine came to deliver something. I’ll go and have a look.”
Samantha nodded and said, “I’ll sit with your mother for a while before I go. Go get busy.”
Selene ran away in a twinkling of an eye. Genevieve watched from not far away and asked the nurse, “Does Aiden often come here?”
The nurse said after some time, “Oh, Mr. Campbell? He comes here quite often, at least once every day, but Ms. Quinn is reluctant to talk to him and often quarreled with him.”
Genevieve frowned slightly and wondered, ‘Aiden has been going out with Cecilia’s sister, Mikaela. Does he think Selene is better now?”
She walked to the stairs and suddenly heard people arguing downstairs.
“Your family proposed to break off the engagement, and now you’re saying it’s back on. Are you playing with me? I should be glad to be rid of you, a cheating bastard that sides with your mistress. Do you want me to celebrate it?” Selene asked bluntly.
Aiden’s voice came out deliberately calm. “Those are all old scores before the engagement. Can you be rational? What good will it do you to cancel the engagement now? I told you that if we get married, I’ll help you deal with your problems. Why don’t you understand?”
“Thank you for your vicious kindness. Now, I wouldn’t want you to feel wronged. How do I even deserve you now?” Selene mocked, slammed the door, and went upstairs.
Genevieve hurriedly withdrew herself.
When Selene came back after regaining her composure, she looked the same as before, but her face was slightly
bale.
Senevieve made an excuse to go out with her and asked, “I heard you two arguing. What happened?”
Selene didn’t feel abashed. She gritted her teeth and said, “The Campbell family is really something else. When I lealt with bankruptcy, they didn’t even show up. Now that I’m starting a new company, the engagement is back
en again. Do they take me for a fool?”

Genevieve could hear the irony in Selene’s tone. She lowered her eyes slightly and said with a smile, “Maybe Aiden means well. Don’t forget that the new company has no value in going for public listing now. In the eyes of the Campbell family, your new company might be nothing at all. Is he trying to help you?”
Selene pouted and said, “No need. Who is he to help, anyway?”
Genevieve smiled and said, “It’s better for Quinn Group to focus on chip research than financing right now.”
Selene nodded. “Why did you ask me to give up the drug R&D center? I heard that we are about to make progress.”
Genevieve pursed her lips. She couldn’t tell Selene what Louis was targeting. Otherwise, she might alert Selene.
As long as Louis gave up the drug development center, there was no reason for him to target Quinn Group.
“Chips and technologies are all the rage now. Drug research will take more than a decade. Can you afford to wait?” Genevieve asked.
Selene thought it made sense and immediately gave up the idea of restarting the drug research.
Not long after, Samantha came out with red eyes.
The two of them left the hospital.
The first day of the show’s shooting was done in a scenic resort, with a vast expanse of beach in front of it. The blue sea and the sky merged into one color, and a beautiful mountain was right behind the resort.
Anthony had agreed, the night before, that he would come to pick Genevieve up. After confirming the time and location, he went over.
Lydia could only meet them up in the afternoon.
Genevieve didn’t bother to drive, so she had someone send her outside the shooting site to wait for Anthony.
She held a small umbrella by herself, her demeanor cool.
However, Anthony didn’t show up at the appointed time.

Genevieve lost her patience standing under the hot sun.
Her legs hurt from the heels.
She called Anthony, but her call was declined.
Genevieve was furious.
Just then, Emilio’s cool blue Lamborghini stopped in front of her. He whistled, and Brendan was sitting in the passenger seat,
Brendan couldn’t help but smile and wave his hand, looking innocent. “Genevieve, are you sunbathing and catching up on some calcium?”
